About the Author

Hello, I’m

Kate E. Rowland

I’m an eleven-year-old writer from Louisville, Kentucky, who loves creating stories filled with adventure, mystery, and heart. Ever since I could hold a pencil, I’ve been dreaming up new worlds and characters — and Stranded is my very first full novel. I wanted to write a story about courage, fear, and finding hope when everything feels impossible. Jack’s journey means a lot to me, and I hope it inspires anyone who’s ever felt alone, misunderstood, or afraid to be themselves. When I’m not writing, you’ll probably find me reading in my favorite spot at the library, sketching story ideas, or imagining the next world I want to bring to life.
